Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Pears, peeled and finely diced
- 0.75 cup Dried cranberries (craisins)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg. Whisk until evenly blended.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the diced pears, dried cranberries, and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your homemade Pear Craisin Bread with a cup of tea or coffee!
